Guided tour

Barnes presents an extraordinary full?floor residence located on prestigious Velázquez Street, in the heart of Madrid's Salamanca Castellana district. Occupying the entire second floor of a protected Art Déco building dating from 1932, this home blends the elegance of historic architecture with the comfort and sophistication of a complete contemporary renovation. Delivered brand new and fully furnished with pieces chosen to match its scale and style, it is ready to be lived in from day one, while still allowing for a degree of customization so that its future owner can tailor certain finishes and details to their own preferences. From the moment you step into the grand entrance hall, with its original stained glass and sculptural staircase, you feel the singular character and discretion that make this property truly memorable. The interiors enjoy a truly unique outlook: there is only one vantage point in the city that frames the Italian Embassy in quite this way, with its superb façade and manicured gardens forming a living tableau beyond the windows. This rare perspective floods every main room with natural light and creates an atmosphere of openness and prestige that is almost impossible to replicate in Madrid's prime market. Designed with a perfectly balanced rectangular layout, the apartment flows seamlessly between generous living spaces and private quarters. A gracious entrance hall in limestone and black Marquina marble leads into two adjoining reception rooms that open to the façade, creating an impressive expanse for entertaining. A formal dining room shares these privileged views, while a separate TV lounge or cinema room offers a more intimate setting. A discreet guest powder room is located nearby. The private area is reached through a corridor leading to a principal suite with a large walk?in dressing room, a bathroom finished in travertine marble with polished brass fittings, and a private sitting and working area with balcony overlooking the Embassy gardens. Three further bedrooms, each with its own en?suite bathroom, provide accommodation of the highest standard. Service spaces are executed with the same level of design: a contemporary kitchen with central island in oak and lacquered cabinetry, porcelain countertops, and top?grade appliances, complemented by an office, separate laundry room, and a climate?controlled wine cellar with oak shelving and insulated glass door. Wide oak floors, natural stone finishes, custom joinery in solid chestnut, underfloor heating and cooling, triple glazing, and full home automation combine to deliver a standard of comfort and refinement that is rarely achieved. The building itself provides a private garage space with direct access, concierge service seven days a week, lift, and enhanced security. Set in the very heart of Madrid's Golden Mile, surrounded by embassies, flagship boutiques, and cultural landmarks, this residence stands apart not only for its design and outlook but also for its scarcity. To own a home with such views over such a beautiful and emblematic building is a privilege few can claim, and that rarity commands an expanding valuation premium. It is a home that is as singular as it is desirable, a place that leaves a lasting impression and represents both an exceptional lifestyle and a truly secure long?term investment.
